The Darwin Core standard (DwC; Task Group 2009) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) new data model provide a flexible set of biodiversity fields to accommodate various thematic datasets such as taxonomic checklists, sampling events, eDNA metabarcoding, ecological survey data, etc. However, this flexibility can make it challenging for providers get started, often leading frustration when trying map their original DwC terms. Additionally, while cleaning is crucial enhancing...
The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project is a citizen science initiative started in early 2021 to enhance our understanding of jellyfish Kong. Here, we present dataset sightings collected by scientists from through 2023 within local waters. Citizen submitted photographs and other data (time, date, location) using website, iNaturalist project, social media. Sightings were validated references the literature. A total 1,020 usable observations are included this dataset, showing occurrence distribution...
The Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl) is a comprehensive community-curated repository scientific collections, their host institutions, and associated staff members. GRSciColl was adopted by the Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) in 2018, after being developed hosted at Smithsonian Institution. houses data on various institutional or personal collections such as natural history archeological cell culture collections. Users can access information about collection...
We describe a dataset of sea turtle sightings around the coast Taiwan and its islands (Hoh Fong 2022). This data collection was initiated by TurtleSpot Taiwan, citizen-science project that collects sighting data. includes 3,515 dated from March 2010, except most (n = 3,128; 89%) were collected between June 2017 to December 2021. Sightings reported citizen scientists Facebook Group providing occurrence information. also requested photos videos for species identification record any physical...
Ensuring that all global scientific collections become accessible online is a challenge. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) maintains Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl) but as May 2023, 58% the included in registry were from institutions based Europe or North America. This shows low representation organizations other regions. GBIF addressing bias with help its participant network and regional support teams. actively encouraging regions to register describe their...
We describe a dataset of sea turtle sightings around the coast Taiwan and its islands. The data was collected by citizen scientists reported to TurtleSpot Taiwan, science initiative that collects sighting mainly through Facebook group. This includes 3,515 dated from March 2010, except most (n=3,128; 89%) falls were between June 2017 December 2021. A standardized format basic information suggested anyone who wishes report occurrence. also request photos videos for species identification...
Global Registry of Scientific Collections, or GRSciColl, is a comprehensive registry natural history collections maintained by the Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), building upon previous efforts developed Consortium Barcode Life (CBOL) and other organizations. Its primary purpose to provide centralized platform for accessing information on institutions, their associated staff members. While both GBIF GRSciColl aim encompass data from all around globe, Asian African are often...
Taiwan Biodiversity Information Facility (TaiBIF) was established in 2001 as one of the first Global (GBIF) nodes. Funded by Taiwan's Ministry Science and Technology Forestry Bureau, TaiBIF’s missions are to: Develop infrastructures for biodiversity-related data, Promote open data concept, Facilitate publication integration biodiversity information, Support research policy-making, Connect international information. As part work to fulfill its missions, TaiBIF develops maintains such a...
